NDTV
All the war of words broke out after CM Bommai claimed that some villages in Maharashtra's Sangli district, which are having a water crisis, passed a resolution seeking a merger with Karnataka.
Maharashtra's former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday slammed Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai's remarks on the border dispute between the two states and called the latter "possessed".
"The Karnataka Chief Minister is giving his statement on border issues. It seems like Karnataka CM Bommai has been possessed for suddenly staking a claim on 40 villages in Maharashtra?" Uddhav Thackeray said.
Earlier, Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar condemned Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's remarks on the border dispute between the two states and asked Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his Deputy Devendra Fadnavis to "give a strong answer".
Ajit Pawar also sought the Centre's intervention on the issue.
